About Peterson Health

Community Health Needs Assessment

The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) uses systematic, comprehensive data collection and analysis to define priorities for health improvement, creates a collaborative community environment to engage stakeholders, and an open and transparent process to listen and truly understand the health needs of Kerr County, Texas.

Peterson Health is committed to understanding what makes a healthy community, as well as working with community stakeholders to assist with resource allocation, informed decision-making, and collective action that will improve health.

Healthcare Equity. As part of Peterson Health’s efforts to reduce or prevent healthcare disparities, data are regularly collected and analyzed to ensure that healthcare disparities based on race, ethnicity, and both spoken and preferred written language do not exist. After a qualitative analysis of these data, we have found that no disparities currently exist in these domains. We will continue to analyze these data to ensure that healthcare equity remains a priority at Peterson Health.

What patients say about Peterson Health

When I called 911 that evening, I honestly prepared myself to not see my dad alive again after that due to how quickly and severely he had fallen sick. After his negative COVID results came back, I walked into his ER room about 30 minutes after we arrived and he was alert (he was even smiling!) and receiving the necessary medications and treatments to help him. Immediately, everyone began helping him as a TEAM between each department quickly and efficiently to ensure my dad was taken care of and comfortable. It's almost like they were Angels bringing him back to me! I knew he was in the very BEST hands! My dad hasn't stopped talking about how greatly his opinion of Peterson hospital has changed after the phenomenal care he's received over the past couple of days. He said everyone is being so helpful and caring, thoughtful, and shows its a TEAM effort! He has so much more respect for PRMC and the staff and is so appreciative of everyone. He didn't stop bragging on how helpful and nice everyone has been to him and our family.
